If you are expecting this film to be some sort of horror action gore fest

Rating: Null/10 (4 November 2002)

If you are expecting this film to be some sort of horror action gore fest you will be extremely disappointed. During every zombie scene in 28 days later, the camera moves away before you get to see any limbs being chopped off. You are left with lame sound effects and X amounts of blood splattered on walls.
The film however does manage to covey an eerie feeling of isolation and abandonment, the deserted London cityscape offers a nice apocalypse feeling similar to early John Carpenter films. Though we are not given much scientific information to support these drastic effects of the Rage Virus.
The first hour of the film is dull and un-entertaining, there is a large amount of character building scenes between the protagonists, which I've come to realize lead up to an ending which as a lot of emotional tension and moral issues. It is during this final chapter that the film really gets going. It's just a shame that all of this takes place at the expense of some good old fashion zombie horror action of which I believed 28 days later would deliver.
All in all I found 28 days to be a big disappointment like most new British films. Back to importing Japanese films by Miike Takashi.
